"Tasted blind at the Sauternes 2011 horizontal tasting. The Cyprès de Climens 2011, the second wine from Château Climens, is a huge a success for Bérénice Lurton and her team. It has a rich bouquet with scents of brioche, honeycomb and marzipan that is well-defined and powerful. The palate is well balanced right from the start, the keen line of acidity cutting through the viscous fruit with a caressing pineapple and lemon curd finish that is very seductive. What a beautiful Sauternes and of course, tasted blind, I had no idea this was a second label!" -NM, 2/27/15
